I guess the weakness we are seeing in LU is due to tax-related selling. LU should see some inflow of fund money in January.

Mr. Fun, Thanks for mentioning this. I searched everywhere today on the web looking for LU's CDMA content and could not definitively confirm what I thought that I had read previously. Is there a source that might indicate the actual size of LU's business in the CDMA business going forward? It does seem to me that LU is penalized at times for not being overweighted in one of the hot businesses for y2k (optical, wireless, microelectronics, internet infrastructure in general). If it was, then we might have ridden a wave by now... Thank you for all of the invaluable information that you have provided throughout the past year. I wish you and yours the happiest, healthiest and most successful year in 2000. Brian

Fun guy: yep, forgot LU was part of AT&T. Keep thinking UNIX as a Berkeley creation. Will CDMA aspect of LU create profits? I always looked at the networking aspect of LU as the profitable area. I never think about the wireless connections. Thanks for the info.

Mr Fun: Let me thank you for your excellent, informative, and educational posts this year. Too many posts are not valued added. Some are, at best, entertaining, and unfortunately, sometimes hostile. Your discussions, particularly with Chuzzlewit, have been enlightening. I do not have any accounting background, so I really don't grasp the implications of some of your posts - but I am learning!! Thank you and have a great 2000.

Mr. Fun, Have you heard anything definitive from Lucent about the QSPE? Do you know to whom they sold the securities and for what consideration? CTC

"Actually, LU invented UNIX, which is the basis of Linux." One of the first computer programing languages I got to get familiar with after Fortran was UNIX...that was when you hadda' know the syntax to be able to do anything on a 'puter. Every "i" hadda' have a dot and it wasn't a dot.com either, and every comma hadda' be there, etc., etc., etc. If you wanted to do some sorting of data you hadda' know how to set everything up. There was nothing like a WINDOWS environment...I was working for Western Electric then and it was a Bell Labs group that developed UNIX...which was then intended for scientific and engineering statistical work.
